Personally I like the scale imperfections after plating: it adds to the character of the piece & the implication of it being a hand-made tool rather than a rebranded shop-bought item. If the scale has no impact on the plating durability or the tool's strength/function, I'd say leave it :)

A dip in a strong acid like hydrochloric or sulfuric is also really good at getting scale off before plating. At least here in the US, you can get hydrochloric acid at hardware stores labelled as pool acid, concrete cleaner, or muriatic acid, and you can get sulfuric acid at the supermarket as a drain clog cleaner. The sandblaster works well too, but leaves a pitted surface that's going to need a lot of cleaning and polishing before it plates up shiny.

I've used it to strip galv before and it does that amazingly well. I'll try it next time on scale. Thanks. :)

I recognize the reddish brown colour of the aluminum oxide belt. Don't know if the green belt is zirconia, which I usually see in a blue colour, but if you have never tried a ceramic belt give it a shot -- you will never go back. Great video, thanks!

Easy enough if your home workshop is better equipped than some professional fabrication shops.

For the sides, luthiers typically have a sort of "upright clothes iron", a round-ish pillar that heats up very hot and that you use to impart a shape into wet wood.

I noticed your having problems with scale, for my blacksmith projects as soon as im done Forging, i pour out some white vinager and leave the metal in over night, come back in the morning and brush away at it, it works pretty good for taking off scale and leaving the steel looking shinny

Im a blacksmith, and Everytime you attempt a blacksmithing project it makes me smile simce i know you mainly from scrap wood and woodworking projects, its refreshing seeing something different always coming from your videos!

I liked how his process was totally different than what a traditional blacksmith would have done, but still ended up with a nice, functional, good looking tool. I was expecting him to do a version of the draw out, split and bend method that Alex Weygers taught back in the day. It's great when you need a wrench quickly, and is my go-to, but doesn't always make the prettiest tool.

I've made a few simple tools over the years that give me simple joy when I use them. The witness marks and minor imperfections are part of their character, and I remember the time spent in the shop just making something useful for myself. Of course I could just have bought a Thing, but where's the fun in that? Lovely video.
